The Crash Detectives, veteran aviation journalist and air
safety investigator Christine Negroni takes us inside crash
investigations from the early days of the jet age to the present,
including the search for answers about what happened to the missing
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. As Negroni dissects what happened and
why, she explores their common themes and, most important, what has
been learned from them to make planes safer. Indeed, as Negroni
shows, virtually every aspect of modern pilot training, airline
operation, and airplane design has been shaped by lessons learned
from disaster. Along the way, she also details some miraculous
saves, when quick-thinking pilots averted catastrophe and kept
hundreds of people alive.
